My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
A young nephew burned a CD for Mrs. sixcard. Her E90 insisted that no disc is installed. I tried it on my E60 and it played well.
Went back to the E90 and tried it in the DVD slot for the NAV. It played using the NAV slot, but still did not work in the CD slot. Store bought CDs work OK.
So now we can play it in the E90 but not simultaneously with the NAV enabled
Can anybody explain this?
Thanks ...

The most obvious explaination is that your nephew has not burned an audio CD but a data CD with mp3 on them. The E90 must not have an mp3 capable CD drive, however the E60 does. Both Nav drives should be able to read data CDs.

That's probably the answer. I can put the new CD in my puter drive and verify the format.
Thanks again.

I have an LCI 520d with professional navigation, professional radio and mp3 Cds work well in the top (CD) slot with proper directory structures and descriptions etc.
When I had the car delivered, the BMW rep made me swear a dire oath that I would never put anything other than the navigation disc in the lower (DVD) slot. He reckoned that the drive would lock up and never part with the disc again (maybe true for DVD video).
I've read elsewhere that an mp3 CD will play fine from that lower slot but how about a DVD full of mp3 tracks?
TIA
